Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium Potatoes
- 250 grams Boneless chicken breast
- 1 small, finely chopped Onion
- 2 minced Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh cilantro
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 1.5 teaspoons (or to taste) Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 large Egg
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs
- 3 tablespoons (for frying) Oil
Instructions
Peel and dice the potatoes. Boil them in salted water for 15-20 minutes or until tender. Drain and mash the potatoes. Set aside to cool slightly.
While the potatoes cook, boil the chicken breast in water with a pinch of salt until fully cooked (about 10-12 minutes). Allow it to cool, then shred into fine pieces using forks or your fingers.
In a mixing bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, shredded chicken, chopped onion, minced garlic, cilantro, ground cumin, red chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix everything thoroughly until well combined.
Take a small portion of the mixture (about 2 tablespoons) and shape it into a patty. Repeat until all the mixture is used up.
Beat the egg in a shallow bowl. Place the breadcrumbs in another plate.
Dip each patty into the beaten egg, ensuring it's fully coated, then coat it evenly with breadcrumbs. Repeat for all the patties.
Heat oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Fry the patties in batches, cooking for 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crisp. Avoid overcrowding the pan.
Remove the patties from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil.
Serve the chicken potato patties warm with your favorite dip or sauce.
